Drift Boss Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Eh. Sold it for whatever someone would give me. Here is an update (waiting for downpipe) Couldn't find a oil plug..so I welded up this fitting to plug it. Lol That's all for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 That is the ONLY MANIFOLD that will bolt on. All the rest I tried hit the waste gate in weird spots. This one barely clears the s30 subframe. It sets about 1/4 to 1/2 in away from subframe ! Well. Next will be running the oil return, making a cold pipe, and downpipe installation.

Drift Boss Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Still waiting for one fitting and a downpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Here is my waste gate clearance. Still thinking of a way to run a dump pipe,and where to. Anyone doing 1jzgte, make sure to use this manifold! I tried 3 different manifold designs. Only know obe brand for sure. Driftmotion, doesn't clear with out modification. As you see, you need the manifolds that have the waste gate pointing down, so you can gain access for the turbo down pipe to clear. Then my engine mount is supper close to the drain fitting. Had to use a 1/2 to 10an 90degree to clear it! It's all plumbed up and running, and still waiting on supply for the down pipe. Also ordered wheel spacers to get a slightly better wheel fitment. Here is the pipe I had a blow off valve welded on to...also added a 45 coupler. Soon after its running well, I am taking it in for 1 piece piping, with vband as couplers. Thanks!

Drift Boss Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Welp. Went to go drive it. Tires rubbed to much (still need rear lower control arms, and front tension) raised it up today.also got wheel spacers. Fitment is a+ in my book now. Tried to drive it to work...quickly got shut down by my water pump leaking! Arg! Lol. So I guess I will be doing timing belt, tensioner, and a 2jzgte water pump. Sooooo close!

Exposed Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 killer build, I cant wait to get my engine to start. I might have missed it but what did you do for a wiring harness and how was it to install if you bought a premanufactured one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks man. Honestly I am getting tired of working on it. Cost to how much I drive it is not in my favor. Really not feeling it now. It's a wiring specialty wire harness. Works wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Boss Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Sold my flares and ordering the smaller set =( Then changing tires sizes, trimming up wheel aches to keep from rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle319 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Did you already sell the flares or are they currently up for sale? Also how big were those wheel spacers? Build looks great btw, gives me inspiration to put mine back together once she's back from paint. What are your plans for power? 500? I'm trying to decide what I should put into my 2jz hybrid. You're on megasquirt right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 I plan to run 500whp or more on in opened 1jzgte. As of right now, I don't have any tuning software, or injectors. I am going to run apexi power fc if I can find one. I would also like id1000 injectors. Still aways out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 So after reading adjusting my engine mounts every week, today I bit the bullet and removed the front subframe with the engine still in =) Got it out and welded up the cx racing engine mounts solid as a rock, and really coated the subframe. This was kinda a pain in the ass, but I refuse to remove the 1jzgte again! Lol Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Boss Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Not the prettiest,but it's solid as a rock! No more fighting the movement of the mount design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Boss Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ordered some smaller flares, now my car sets flareless. It's sad, i know, but I still love driving it. The old flares are indeed sold, and shipped already. New tire size 235/45/17 rear 215/40/17 front. Lowered vehicle about another inch. Still very daily driver friendly.

Geno750 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If you're planning on doing top feed EV14 style injectors(ID1000, FIC, DP, etc.), take a look at the drift motion rail. It's probably the best one available for the non vvti 1JZ in the US, and it's well priced. Fitment is great, but depending on injector length, you will have to sand down the stock standoffs to fit.

Drift Boss Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Interested! What injectors are you running? Size, and is that the only mod you had to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Boss Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Another thing I am starting on. Wirring. Chassis Wiring has been driving me crazy. It seems every week I have something going out. Recently it was by blower motor/heater. Oh, and my blinkers went out. So....I am going to make my own chassis harness. Ordered a fuse box, wire connectors, wire, switches, USB hook up, little volt meter gauge, push button start, bunch of relays, and what not. And it begins! No longer going to have any more issues with this car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
